The Nutcracker Starring Presley

Our 5th Anniversary!

On this day 5 years ago, Nick and I got married! He is truly my best friend, and I can't imagine my life without him. Presley is such a lucky girl to have such a great dad! I love you Nick!

Pack. Unpack. Repeat…

Our Christmas break has been busy! As the post title implies, we have been traveling, and enjoying spending time with our family. We left on the 23rd for North Carolina, and we were reminded repeatedly that when flying, expect the unexpected.  On our first flight (to Cincinnati) something on the plane required maintenance. The  guy that was working at the gate was explaining the problem and said that it would be a quick fix. I commented to Nick that we got to go on the test flight, and Presley heard me. She then repeated, “Test flight, test flight, test flight!” over and over. Ha!  I love going to my grandparents’ house, and it is so special to be able to take Presley to visit her great-grandparents. They adore her!

Presley discovered one of my favorite things about airports… Starbucks.

Family Pictures

Taking family pictures is not easy, but we try.

 I know we will look back someday and love the "bad" ones more than the "good" ones!

Merry Christmas!

Party for Two

Presley’s cousins, Addison and Peyton, had a double birthday party on Saturday, and it was double the fun. Twice the cake and twice the presents- you can’t get much better than that!  They also got a joint birthday present- Max- the Maltese.  He is so cute. Even Nick had to hold him. We had to leave the party because Presley can’t understand the concept of giving. She likes to receive. Especially if it has to do with a Kai-Lan tree house. See pic below of Presley trying to get us to open Addison’s present.

Santa Baby

Nick, Presley, my mom, and I went to a Christmas party Friday night at the Morgan’s.  They have a beautiful home, and Presley loved checking out their Christmas trees (all 7 of them)! We were just starting to enjoy the party, and then Santa showed up. All the kids freaked out and ran to the nearest adult’s lap! Here are some pics!

Presley loved checking out the trees!

This picture just tickles me.

I took this picture about 10 seconds after Santa arrived.

Presley wanted nothing to do with sitting in Santa’s lap, but she did tell him from the couch that she would like for him to bring her a baby. She also told him that she has been good. She was willing to get close to accept a gift, and eventually gave him a hug. We had so much fun at the party! =)
